A decision is to take action on an underlying belief.
But what if many of our beliefs aren’t ours to begin with?
From religion and politics to our favorite sports teams - many of our most devout beliefs are inherited at a young age.
Few stop to consider this, nor how to escape the matrix.

An underrated truth about trading: if you buy low and sell higher, you literally can’t lose money.
Simple. Not easy.
It's the same as poker — the real skill is knowing which hand you’re holding.

Money isn’t just money.
Money is really bottled-up time in a medium we use to store and transfer human energy.
When someone demands your money or believes they’re entitled to it, what they’re really saying is they’re entitled to your time. 👇

My trading strategy is simple.
It works because I don’t overthink it.
I buy assets that are unloved and mispriced, and sell them when they become popular and everyone wants in.
That’s it. Here's how I used it to make a recent 8x.

Every poker player has a sweet spot.
You have to care enough to focus and play your best, but not so much that you’ll be overly passive and afraid to make moves.
It should hurt when you lose enough that you’ll want to get better to avoid the pain, but not too much that you can’t recover quickly.

I've long wanted to learn mixed games, but never had a home to play. Finally, it's here.
I hopped on to Phenom Poker and saw an 8-handed BigO game running. Without having played a single hand, I hopped in. 👇

You should be able to customize the time frame. Like a one click mass uninstall.

Some say tariffs are good. Others say they're bad. In reality, very few people know the truth.
It's like a poker hand where everyone comments but few understand the nuance and correct strategy.
It's okay to not have an opinion. Sometimes "I don't know" is the right answer.

One of the simplest ways I've increased my focus and productivity is by deleting the most used social media apps and email from my phone.

I went to dinner with an old friend last night and she asked how my year in poker had been.
Objectively it was great, with several deep runs in large field tournaments.

It's clear healthcare in America is broken.
It seems to me that one of the root causes is a misalignment of incentives.
Is anyone working on fixing this using web3? There has to be a way to put this together.

We all love to win. But part of playing any game is accepting losses.
Today I had options expire completely worthless. I got stuck in a dead-end black hole narrative trade that didn't play out.
Looking back, it was obvious. I let emotion get the best of me. I have nobody to blame but me.
